Cyber Defense Agency, LLC (CDA) proposes to develop StopBot, a unique, multi-modal security application that will detect botnets and disable their command and control systems. StopBot will have three different modes of operation: a free, stand-alone mode to protect individual end systems, a subscription mode in which results from individual end systems are collected securely and correlated to gene ...

The objective of the research presented in this Phase II proposal is to extend and understand the success of the Phase I work and to conduct the work plans developed in the Phase I activities. The primary objective of this research is to develop answers that will remove barriers to implementation of on-site generation technology as a replacement for chlorine gas, and to provide scientific answers ...

Optimized Network Sensing (ONS) is a Modeling and Simulation Toolset which provides the capability for rapid and cost effective evaluation of currently deployed Chemical/Biological sensor networks or design of new networks. The Phase I effort will demonstarte the feasibility of such a toolset and determine which software modules best optimize the solution. Proven modules will be integrated in a fl ...

TPL proposes to demonstrate the feasibility of its EnerPak power solution for use in unattended ground sensors (UGS) for border security. The EnerPak combines energy harvesting technology with miniaturized electrochemical storage devices to provide a hybrid power source for sensors deployed in remote locations. Our solution uniquely meets the needs of border security UGS and delivers long life (at ...

We propose to construct and test a prototype system capable of non-invasively probing the characteristics of material properties using acoustical waves through thermal conversion of a remote laser pulse. The advantages of proposed system as an inspection and identification technique are: 1) Non-contact: Sensor does not require contact with container 2) Stand-off: Sensor could be located many meter ...

This proposed work will generate a targeted phosphate ester hydrolysis catalyst for agent denial. This catalyst will be targeted by conjugation to single stranded DNA. Characteristics of the catalyst will be determined, including ruggedness, targeting selectivity, and potential methods for deployment.

Special Operations forces (SOF) operate in all weather conditions. It has identified a need for a micro-cooling system that can be vehicle mounted and man-portable, as well as provide a capability to cool vehicle mounted communications and electronics equipment. To meet the needs of SOF the system must be small, lightweight, quiet, low power, and gasless. We propose a compact micro-cooling system ...
